<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Librarians at the University of Pittsburgh are interested in learning what roles other academic libraries are playing at their institutions in providing services and support to their users of electronic lab notebooks (ELNs). The accompanying
survey is intended for only academic libraries, including those in the health sciences, and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The information gathered will be used in developing our service model, and we also expect to incorporate it into one or more presentations or articles for publication. Although we ask for information identifying your library/institution,
it will be used only for data analysis purposes. No library/institution will be identified publicly or linked to any particular response.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would appreciate it if someone familiar with your activities related to ELNs would complete the survey before Friday, October 6, 2017. Even if you do not currently provide services related to ELNs, we would appreciate learning about
any potential future plans to do so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please access the survey here: <a href="https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0V3VMPaTSy6UkbX">

<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please contact Nora Mattern (emm100@pitt.edu). We thank you for your time and participation.<o:p></o:p></p>
